Several weeks ago I was phoned to tell me I had won 1 of 5 prizes for a draw I entered in December at the local mall (but I did not even live in the province in December so I know that is not where they got my number) The President of the company, James Robinson, could barely speak English but heard my skepticizm. He gave me a phone number to call back if I changed my mind (718) 673-6170, this is a number in New York (Bronx, Queens, area). It is likely some timeshare company wanting you to hear their pitch. I have been receiving many calls a day with no one at the other end. Yesterday there were at least 5 calls. Today there have already been 5 calls. So I stopped answering the phone when the numbers (416) 360-1176 or (416) 360-4084) appeared in my display. Then they tried a new number (416) 350-5218. I think the 2 situations are related. The constant calls are driving me nuts!When I called Bell to complain they suggested I register for the new national Do Not Call List for telemarketers. You can register on Sept 30, 2008 at www.crtc.gc.ca. Telemarketers who call you can be fined. There is also another do not call list at www.the-cma.org but the list is only followed by members of the Canadian Marketing Association. Hope this works and hope helps someone else. Good Luck

Just answered a call from this number. A young woman said she was calling from some polling or research service or another. I didn't hear because I interrupted to ask that they please remove my number from their calling list.She replied, "We're not selling anything."I said, "Yes. Please remove my number from your list," and hung up.

This f'n number keeps calling my pay-per-use cell phone and it's nothing but a pitch about a credit card.  Each time the option to remove yet they continue to call, costing me money.  The only solution I can think of is to cancel all my phones.

this call from someone from rogers.

A guy called me, said he was from "Tel Permormance" and had specials from Rogers and could save me money Blah blah blah... Asked me for my postal code, then asked for my birthdate which I did not give. Then he proceeded to tell me in detail my last Rogers bill.  Someone at Rogers is selling copies of peoples bills !!! I told the guy I work at Rogers and we would never hire a outside company to call our customers he hung up

I recived a call today from someone at a company called "Consumer Awards Center" also know as Geo Holidays and told me I had won, one of five prizes.  When I told them I had been called before and that I was not interested he told me I had to come.  He told me they were a member of BBB ( Better Biz Beureau) under Geo Holidays.  Of course they didnt turn up :)  I did all this while they were on the phone with me.  I again told him I was not interested and he asked me" why are you f$cking around?"  I said that is not the way to talk to someone who he was calling and I hung up.  He called me right back and gave me a website to check out...which led to a porn website ( i looked it up in google so i didnt actually go to the site, but saw a description of it) He asked me if I had typed it in and I told him what I had done he said " Are you a smart guy" and I hung up again.I found the number for GEO holiday and called them.  It seems this company is a vender of theirs and they will find out who they are and take me off the list.  I will keep you updated as to what happens as they will be calling me back tommorow.  I called phonebusters and reported the company as well.
